What's Inside? Best Kept Secret in California! Exploring Natural Bridges of Coyote Creek Cave Tubing

Cave Tubing and Hiking Natural Bridges of Coyote Creek Trailhead. This Underground Swimming Hole May Be Northern California’s Best Kept Secret!
The Sierra Nevada Mountains hold many wonders. Some are famous worldwide, like the waterfalls in Yosemite National Park and the giant trees in Sequoia National Park. Others, like the Natural Bridges in Calaveras County, are only famous with locals. These no-less-amazing limestone tunnels make a charming destination for a short hike in the Sierra foothills (and an enthralling summer swimming hole). Starting at 1,500 feet, the Natural Bridge Trail descends 300 feet down to Coyote Creek
Coyote Creek Cave in Northern California is definitely a treat for anyone looking for a place to cool off on a hot day. We know summer can be a little sweltering here. But even if you’re not looking to swim, everyone loves to explore some of the many natural wonders in Northern California. If you’ve been looking for one of our great marvels, your search is over. Natural Bridges in Calaveras County is an absolutely amazing, relatively secret swimming hole in Northern California. This place will blow your mind with how cool it is! It’s not every day you can enjoy an underground swimming hole straight out of a fairy tale.
These spectacular limestone caverns have been carved out by Coyote Creek which feeds into New Melones Lake. Maintained by the US Bureau of Reclamation, this natural feature is one of their recommended trails when visiting New Melones. Spring is especially pretty with all of the wildflowers on the trail.
Natural Bridges is a hiking trail in Vallecito, California. It is located just South of Moaning Caverns Adventure Park in Calaveras County, and about a 10 minute drive from Angels Camp. The trailhead is off Parrotts Ferry Road. You will need to look for the brown “Natural Bridges Day Use Area” sign on the side of the road. Due to the geological sensitivity of this outstanding natural formation, dogs and bikes are not allowed.
This Natural Bridge was acquired in 1972 for the public as part of the New Melones Lake project through the cooperation and generosity of Tome M. and Margaret E. Airola, members of a pioneer Calaveras County cattle-raising family. Mr. Airola’s grandfather, Emmanuel Airola, a native of Italy immigrated to the town of Melones, located on the Stanislaus River a few miles south of this Natural Bridge, in 1860. In the cattle business for over 75 years, Tone M. Airola grazed cattle in this area as a small boy.
